I think the egg-drop challenge example is terrible. If the egg + protection impacts the ground at a fixed velocity, the most relevant factor is the /distance/ the egg moves before coming to a stop. So if it requires "three feet of bubblewrap" (nonsense number, per the video), then it will also require three feet of microlattice, unless the microlattice applies a more constant force on the egg as it compresses.
Bad examples like that make it difficult for me to trust such videos.
